The Triangle Fire Rated Roof Terraces

The Triangle Fire Rated Roof Terraces

The Triangle is the first phase of Ashford’s £90m regeneration masterplan and serves as a flagship project in the town's transformation into a vibrant commuter hub. Built on the site of a former power station overlooking the picturesque River Stour, this development features 143 high-quality residential units designed by Ink Drawn in collaboration with Kings Crescent Homes. The design strategically integrates modern living with easy access to local amenities, including the expansive Victoria Park and Ashford International Train Station, which connects residents to London and Europe in under two hours. Offering a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, The Triangle is arranged in three architecturally striking blocks centered around a beautifully landscaped podium, embodying Ashford's vision for sustainable urban living.

Project Breakdown

The Triangle’s outdoor spaces were a vital aspect of the project, enhancing the residents' experience by offering modern, low-maintenance areas to enjoy. The development is part of a £90m masterplan for Ashford town centre that will ultimately create around 400 homes and apartments on a former power generation site overlooking the Great Stour River. The Triangle comprises 143 one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments arranged in a series of three blocks around a central landscaped podium. This design provides uninterrupted views of the nearby Victoria Park, further elevating the residential appeal. The roof terrace and balconies are designed to maximize these panoramic views while remaining robust enough to withstand varied weather conditions. In selecting materials for the balconies and terraces, the project team sought lightweight products that would meet necessary regulations while providing a high-end aesthetic. The goal was to ensure durability and functionality without compromising on visual appeal, creating a seamless integration of style and safety for residents to enjoy their outdoor spaces year-round.

The Solution

EnviroBuild began collaborating on The Triangle project in 2022, working closely with Ink Drawn and Vidi Construction throughout a two-year design and build period. For the roof terrace, Luxe Grey Porcelain Paving was selected for its modern appearance and superior durability, making it ideal for a high-traffic area exposed to the elements. Meanwhile, the Anthracite Grey Pro-Grip decking on the balconies offered an eye-catching contrast while providing excellent moisture resistance and low maintenance requirements. MESA Steel Pedestals and joists were utilized to create a reliable support system for the outdoor spaces, allowing for flexibility and adjustment to the uneven surfaces often found in terrace and balcony constructions. Together, these solutions achieved a harmonious blend of design and functionality, contributing to The Triangle’s success as a landmark residential development within Ashford's town centre regeneration.
